Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22267)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a guest user to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the VBluetoothHCI_PacketOut method in the vbluetooth device. An attacker with administrative access to the guest OS can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with VMX process running on the host.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22268)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Shader functionality within the SVGA virtual device. A malicious guest with non-administrative access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22269)

CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization within the UrbBuf_getDataBuf function in the vbluetooth device. A malicious guest with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine can read privileged information contained in hypervisor memory from a virtual machine.

4) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22270)

CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization within the hgfsVMCI_fileread function in the Host Guest File Sharing (HGFS) functionality. A malicious guest with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine can read privileged information contained in hypervisor memory from a virtual machine.
